U.S. Senators Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen (both D-Md.), both members of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works (EPW), today highlighted the importance for Maryland communities of newly introduced legislation that will enable much-needed improvements to our nation’s water infrastructure.
Introduced Tuesday by the Transportation and Infrastructure (T&I) Subcommittee ranking member Senator Cardin, EPW chairman John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), committee ranking member Tom Carper (D-Del.), and T&I subcommittee chairman James Inhofe (R-Okla.), “America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018” supports our nation’s economic competitiveness by increasing water storage, providing protection from dangerous floodwaters, deepening nationally significant ports and maintaining the navigability of inland waterways across the country. The bipartisan legislation also will repair aging drinking water, wastewater and irrigation systems.
